Should the military draft be brought back just for Gen Z?

The military draft should not be brought back for anyone, ever.

It should be reinstated for Gen Z but abolished for those poor innocents, Gen Alpha. They weren't the ones who went all in for Trump.

Send them off to Gaza and Iran.

Service to country and others is so old school. It’s like something from a black and white movie. This country is full of people who are worthless at best and deserving of being served by others at their worst.,

And it hardly starts with GenZ..

A service to country draft . Two years of service of some kind or move to Panama ,

Draft Joe Rogan and Barstool Sports listeners who voted for Trump

Half the time they'd be deciding what gender they should be today, tomorrow, the next day, etc. Bad for war strategizing.

I would LMAO if Gen Z started getting drafted. 😂😂😂

Serves you right, you nasty little judgmental cunts! Go bring your judgment to Iran.

Let's be Gen Z in Iran 😂

I'm the Mom Jeans hidden beneath the burqa.

Not just Z -- everybody under 32, no exceptions.

Unless you're housed in some kind of institution, I'm sure the military can find something for you to do.

Bring it back for Gen Z women only. They think they're as good and as strong as men.

Let's these little bitches defend the country.

Don't half of Gen Z women claim to be Queer?

Let these little dykes take up arms.

Only if boot camp is made a "safe space." Drill sergeants will need to become more like "caring" college RAs. And the chow halls will need to serve "organic bowls."

I do wonder how gay men would be looked upon in the US if the public thought protector first when thinking of gay men , police fire military etc , rather than another who needs protecting?

The elderly, the women the young children and the queens to the life boats first kind of thing.

They should stop giving loans for bullshit degrees.

R14 lol like we think of “protector” when it comes to straight men?

Not fucking likely

R16, I'm a protector of straight men's assholes.

R16 the average person or voter in the US thinks of the police, the fire fighters, the military etc as their protectors. You are certainly free to see it otherwise.

R18, the average basic cunt does.

I never think of some stupid pig being my 'protector.'

R14, you need to discuss that with Pete Buttigieg.

It's complicated. Consider what has happened to median starting salary for a 22 year old, vs median cost of housing, over the past few generations. My dad joined the workforce in the 1950s; his starting salary as a civil engineer was $9K and you could buy a very decent 3-4BR starter home for $25K. A ratio of less than 1:3. Today? Starting salary $50K and a 3BR starter house $750K, which is a ratio of 1:15.

This and other similar socioeconomic pieces, it all factors GREATLY into their worldview. They'll stay discontent and keep voting out the status quo. They did it to Trump and then they did it to Biden, and soon they'll do it to Trump again.

We hope.

They should scrap the age limit and start drafting you boomers who got the world into this mess. Yeah you’re old but there’s plenty of you to keep rotating them in fresh while some take breaks, like defensive linemen.

I tried to re-enlist back when they were raising the enlistment age limit, because by that time I had a master's degree + and I could go back in as an officer. But both times they told me I was two years too old. In other words, they raised the age limit two years, I was two years too old, and two years later they raised it two years again, so I was [italic]still[/italic] two years too old.

Yes and women should have to enlist.

I'm too old to be on anyone's front lines and would probably injure myself in Basic, but hell, I can't find a job. House me and teach me something new on the country's dime. Or use the skills I have.

[quote]women should have to enlist

The word "enlist" in and of itself implies voluntary entry into the military.

If someone "has to" enlist, it's called "the draft," or being drafted, an involuntary entry into the military.

I believe (I could be wrong) that when there was a draft, people were only drafted into the Army. If you wanted to go into some other military branch (to get out of being drafted into the Army), you had to enlist into that branch.

R27 generally true. But I had a friend from back in the day that got drafted and when he showed up he was then told he was going to MCRD to become a Marine. He ended up doing a very interesting combat tour in SVN.

It’s not often but a few were drafted into the corps,

Yep, if they voted for Trump go fight in Iran

Many Gen Z males voted for Trump. So I would say yes.

R30, Gen Z women shifted to the right compared to previously-aged women in their age bracket, too.
